GD2抗体达妥昔单抗β治疗神经母细胞瘤的临床应用专家共识（2021年版）

神经母细胞瘤(neuroblastoma,NB)是儿童最常见的颅外实体肿瘤,临床表现及预后具有高度异质性。低危患儿预后较好,高危患儿即使接受化疗、放疗、手术、造血干细胞移植等多种方法的综合治疗,长期存活率仍不足50%。探索潜在的治疗靶点对于提高高危患者的生存率具有重要意义。双唾液酸神经节苷脂抗原GD2在NB细胞高表达,达妥昔单抗β可与NB细胞膜表面过表达的GD2特定靶点结合,触发抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性作用和补体依赖的细胞毒性效应,通过双重免疫机制而发挥抗肿瘤作用。通过总结国外多项关键临床研究,并结合在海南和天津医疗先行区的上市前初步应用经验,我们对达妥昔单抗β的安全性、有效性、适用人群及使用方法进行总结和推荐,提出本共识,旨在为临床医师提供指导与帮助。     

体外膜肺氧合技术支持治疗期间患者血乳酸浓度及其预后

目的:探讨体外膜肺氧合支持治疗患者血乳酸浓度的变化和预后。方法:于2004-12/2006-09在中国医学科学院阜外心血管病医院因脱离体外循环困难的心脏外科术后患者、扩张性心肌病和冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病发生心源性休克的患者共40例进行了体外膜肺氧合支持治疗,按年龄和存活预后分为4组:成人存活组、成人死亡组、儿童存活组、儿童死亡组。分析4组的治疗效果,分别抽取各组患者体外膜肺氧合建立时、体外膜肺氧合运转6h、运转中间时点、停机前6h、停机时的血乳酸浓度。结果:①体外膜肺氧合支持治疗患者40例,成人组26例,20例脱机,16例生存,10例死亡,脱机率76.9%,生存率61.5%;儿童组14例,7例脱机,5例生存,9例死亡,脱机率50.0%,生存率35.0%。②成人或儿童存活组的乳酸浓度都与死亡组有明显差别,存活组血乳酸浓度明显低于死亡组,其中建立和运转6h、中间时点的差异有显著性意义(P<0.05),其余2个时点的差异有非常显著性意义(P<0.001)。组内与建立时比较,中间时点、停止前6h、停止时差异均有显著性意义(P<0.001),血乳酸浓度逐渐降低。结论:经体外膜肺氧合支持治疗的患者,血乳酸浓度明显下降,脱机时血乳酸仍高的患者预后不良。     

The Wnt Pathway in Mood Disorders

Objectives:

To review the evidence of the involvement of the Wnt signalling pathway in mood disorders and in the action of drugs used to treat these disorders.

Methods:

We performed a careful PubMed search using as keywords all possible terms relevant to the Wnt pathway and crossing them with each of four areas, i.e., developmental effects, behavioural effects, mood disorders, and drugs used in their treatment. Papers were selected on the basis of their content and their data used for discussion.

Results:

Neurodevelopmental and behavioural data point to the possibility of involvement of the Wnt pathway in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. Clinical and post-mortem data are not sufficient to corroborate a definite role for Wnt alterations in any mood disorder. Combining genetic and pharmacological data, we may state that glycogen synthase kinase is the key molecule in bipolar disorder, as it is connected with many other signalling pathways that were shown to be involved in mood disorders, while Wnt molecules in the hippocampus appear to be mainly involved in depressive disorders.

Conclusions:

Altered Wnt signalling may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, although not a central one. It is premature to draw conclusions regarding the possible usefulness of Wnt manipulations in the treatment of mood disorders.     

Kinetics of peripheral blood mononuclear cell mobilization with chemotherapy and/or granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor: implications for yield of hematopoietic progenitor cell collections

BACKGROUND: Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) are commonly collected and used to reconstitute hematopoiesis after high-dose chemotherapy. However, strategies for optimal collection and assessment of leukapheresis components are not standardized. STUDY DESIGN and METHODS: Hematopoietic progenitor cell assays were performed on 369 leukapheresis components collected from 95 patients who had received doxorubicin-based chemotherapy and/or granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Precollection patient hematologic values, leukapheresis collection values, component hematopoietic progenitor cell assays, and patient outcome measures were summarized. The kinetics of mononuclear cell (MNC) and PBPC mobilization were assessed among four patient groups. RESULTS: Patient group was a significant predictor of the peripheral blood MNC count on the day of collection (p<0.0001), and that value was a significant predictor of granulocyte-macrophage– colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) yield (p<0.0001). This relationship between the peripheral blood MNC count on the day of collection and CFU- GM yield differed according to patient group (p<0.0001). CFU-GM made up a larger fraction of peripheral blood MNCs collected from patients who received chemotherapy plus G-CSF than collected from those who received G-CSF alone. Moreover, the peripheral blood MNC count and the corresponding CFU-GM yield increased significantly on consecutive days of collection in patient groups receiving chemotherapy and G-CSF but were unchanged or decreased in patients receiving G-CSF alone. CONCLUSION: The relationship between peripheral blood MNC count and leukapheresis component CFU-GM yield differed significantly between patients who received chemotherapy and G-CSF and those who received G- CSF alone for the mobilization of PBPCs. Patient peripheral blood MNC count and component CFU-GM yield are useful for both assessing and suggesting revisions to PBPC mobilization and collection strategies.     

Aetiological factors for oral manifestations of HIV

OBJECTIVES: Describe the oral diseases in HIV-infected individuals in London, UK and identify social and medical factors related to the presence of specific oral diseases.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional analytic study.
SETTING: Dental clinics.
SUBJECTS: Consecutive sample of 456 patients with HIV infection.
METHODS: Social and medical history and clinical examinations. Univariate and logistic regression analysis.
OUTCOMES: Presence of HIV-associated oral disease.
RESULTS: 80% of patients with AIDS and 50% of patients with HIV had a specific oral disease. The most common diseases were hairy leukoplakia (30%), erythematous candidiasis (24%), pseudomembranous candidiasis (14%), angular chielitis (6%), necrotising periodontal disease (8%) and non-recurrent ulceration (6%).
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of erythematous candidiasis was not related to advanced HIV disease. Pseudomembranous candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia and mucosal ulceration were significantly associated with advanced HIV disease. Smoking was also identified as a strong aetiological factor in oral diseases. Longitudinal studies are required to further explore the prognostic significance of oral diseases in HIV infection.
